About Julia
Julia (Larson) Pham helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and questions about identity. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Julia works with people navigating life changes, parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, and issues tied to discrimination or cultural expectations.
Her style is warm and person-centered. She listens first and follows each person's pace. Sessions aim to build understanding and small, manageable steps toward clearer choices and less overwhelm.
Background and approach
Julia uses Client-Centered, Existential, and Mindfulness approaches to shape her work. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, exploring meaning and values, and practicing present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity. She adapts techniques to the client rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Clients can expect a supportive space to talk about identity, family of origin concerns, intimacy, and eating or body image struggles. Julia also addresses anger, compassion fatigue, loneliness, and feelings of emptiness with practical tools and reflection. Julia holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and practices in Louisiana.
She has five years of clinical experience and offers sessions in English. Her work often blends reflective conversation with concrete skills for coping and decision-making.
Online approaches that focus on meaning and presence
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist. The work begins with listening closely and following each client's experience, so counseling fits the person rather than the other way around. This approach is useful for identity questions, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values. It helps people weigh what matters to them, face life transitions, and explore life purpose or feelings of emptiness. Sessions often involve reflective conversation about direction and priorities.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment. Simple practices help reduce reactivity to stress and make space for clearer decision-making. This can be helpful for anxiety, trauma responses, and coping with difficult emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and blend methods that fit those needs. Together they will adjust the plan as progress and insights emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing reflections, and flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable schedules.
